Wehrpass - WH (Heer) - 71.Inf.Div. - Stalingrad / Cassino - Meine

Wehrpass of "Gefreiten" Herbert Meine who served within several different units of the 71.Inf.Div.

Meine was hit in his foot during the approach (Stadtrand Stalingrad) of Stalingrad and must have been lucky to get out in time as he was part of the newly raised 71.Inf.Div.

Meines second injury (Minensplitter) , was at 30-3-1944 near Castelforti (Italy)

Meine died the next day of wounds and was buried at the Monticelli cemetery which is 17 km. southwest of Cassino!!!!

Meine was awarded the EK II and the BWB.

2) This interesting Wehrpass comes with a typed letter concerning his burial site and was sent by the "Wehrmachtoberpfarrer" (senior army chaplain)

3) Photos of Meines grave and some of his service in Italy.--------------
